“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8 (NKJV)

When you tell God’s people that suffering is no longer their portion, they don’t easily believe it because their experiences in life say otherwise. But the truth remains that suffering without hope is no longer your portion as a child of God. This is the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price. No matter the experiences you’ve had or are having right now, it does not discredit the fact that our Lord Jesus Christ took your place and paid the ultimate price for you.

When Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary, every legal decree, and demand which was in force against you was set aside and cleared completely out of your way (Colossians 2:14).

You see, suffering, afflictions, and all kinds of demonic manipulations came into the world when the law of the spirit of death was enforced through the disobedience of the first Adam. But now, a new law has been set in motion, and suffering is no longer a mandate but a matter of ignorance. This is the reason you must never accept suffering and poverty in your life; there is no reason for you to go through that. The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus is now at work in you because Christ died for you and rose again.

So, make this truth your consciousness. The next time the devil tries to make you believe that suffering is part of your life, remind him that Jesus Christ died for you so that you can live for Him. Stay on the word of God and let the things that Jesus Christ did for you on the cross become a reality to you. Meditate on it again and again. As you do, the power of His resurrection will become real in your life, and every struggle, pain, and suffering will be completely wiped out of your life.

Now, this does not mean you won’t face opposition and resistance. You will, but with this knowledge that is coming to you today, you are expected to stand your ground and win. God bless you!
